i'm looking for suggestions on a good schooling fish for my 55 gal planted tank i currently have mollies, platies guppies, and a pair of kribs in the tank now and want something that will school well. any suggestions would be great. thanks.
 
I have some glow light tetras in mine. They look pretty cool in my opinion. Cardinals or neons would be another good choice. I also have danios but I would certainly be happy if I hadn't gotten them. They are constantly all over the place and seem to never slow down.
 
Glow fish (colored zebra danios) or regular zebra danios are a good choice. Get at least 6. They look cool and swim all over the place. I have them in my 55 gallon with some angels. Good stuff :)
 
Cardinal Tetras, Rummy Nose Tetras or Emperor Tetras look good. just be careful, I would understock the tank with a pair of Kribs. If they start breeding they will defend their territory and other fish just need some space to get out of the way.
